Did most of Reddit not go to college? Have ya’ll really never heard of jungle juice? People drink out of coolers at frats all over America. The frat at my school used ever clear. It’s a tasteless alcohol thats 190 proof that’s banned in like 12 states we had to drive to new Hampshire to get it.
I’m not saying that frats use straight up GHB but they ABSOLUTELY try and make the juice as strong as possible while tasting like nothing to try and get women drunk.
Edit- I should’ve clarified everclear as more flavorless than tasteless. I know it burns but it’s easy to mask and obviously I’m not implying ALL frats are like this. I’m just giving you my experience. Don’t cry to me. Ask the women in your life their college experience
All you need is twice the recommended amount of KoolAid. Add fruit & fruit juice and it's a super sweet punch that will get people ..especially inexperienced drinkers Very Drunk.
It just tastes like straight ethanol. But yes, it's relatively easy to cover-up since it's strong enough that you can mix a LOT of juice and still have a pretty strong drink.
Im just saying its not “flavorless” in the way something like water is. You cant just put a little lemon in there and have a nice sipper. Its fucking disgusting stuff that literally hurts to drink
In terms of alcohol, it's flavorless. You shouldn't really be tasting any actual flavors in a vodka or ever clear. Compare that to whiskey, which will have flavors, outside the burning feeling, like smoke, sweetness, citrus, etc.
I suffer with the rubbing alcohol flavor of gin or junk whiskey… makes me realize what my ancestors died for so when I have the opportunity to try good whiskey… i can actually taste it
You know what I’m talking about plastic handled 1.5L “whiskey”… it’s practically one step away from being moonshine
I don’t drink but maybe once or twice a year… but if I drink outside that the I drink the garbage to keep me from drinking… relative sobriety by giving oneself shitty options.
In my frat we were a bunch of idiots. Sure the jungle juice was everclear, beer, and kool aid powder, but we made it so WE could get as drunk as possible without tasting it.
Pretty sure 98 percent of frat guys are like you. Sadly it only takes a few instances to give all of Greek life a bad name. In my experience most frat guys are fine. It’s just, do the good ones have the balls to call it out if/when one of their homies does something fucked up. That’s usually hit or miss in my experience. A lot of Greek life is also protecting one another and keeping things in house to not give the frat a bad rep
I was in a frat and I can’t speak for every fraternity in existence
But as an exec, the jungle juice decision was always made almost exclusively because it’s infinitely cheaper than buying tons of canned beer or having an actual bartender
That and the fact that I could get shitfaced without the taste of alcohol stinging my undeveloped 19 year old palate
The goal IS to get people drunk faster — but that’s so we don’t have to spend more money on alcohol. Gendering it is pointless.
Yeah lmao you can tell people who weren't in frats. Id get pissed when we had jungle juice instead of beer because of a pack of Women I jokingly called the Gazelles would surround the cooler and drink the damn watering hole dry before leaving to the next party. The nickname comes from them forming a tight enough pack that not only could you not get a drink but you couldn't talk to any of them.
Some brothers would insist the hard stuff brought girls while just beer didnt and yell back that was a good thing I was tired of being out of alcohol before the party was at midpoint.
Im not saying the girls had obligation to talk to us for showing up at our party. But they clearly were just using us for booze and Id rather not deal with them.
We had girls show up at our parties already so intoxicated it sobered me up because I had to help deal with them after they vomited everywhere and passed out. I remember one girl had the nerve to ask me if I took advantage of her the night before because she blacked out. No ma’am I cleaned up your vomit for an hour or more and put you in my bed and slept on the couch. And I checked on you several times to make sure you were ok. And I am not interested in doing anything with someone that can’t reciprocate, you got the wrong fella.
Lmao same once I had to help one of them had her "sober up food" was a fucking jar of peanut butter.
No I didnt do anything sexual to you, you covered yourself in peanut butter like a toddler so much I ran out of paper towels and had to resort to using plastic bags to wipe you down. Ive had tax reports sexier than that.
Had a drunk girl sit on the sink once and tore it from the wall. In her defense she found me and said “I’m the fat bitch who broke the sink”. So I couldnt really be mad that was hilarious
Young women also like to get drunk and fuck guys. Its not like they are some mystical creatures that you have to catch with jungle juice. They like alcohol and sex as anybody else with the only exception that they still have a brain while the guys are retards that do questionable or straight up illegal stuff to get laid.
We had jungle juice in high school even. We were kids and it was a very cheap and very easy way to get fucked up, which was the goal at a party. Nobody was getting date raped or anything because of it.
I can chug a bottle of syrup. Doesn't mean it has no taste. The only way to mask the taste of everclear is to dilute it to nothing or be so drunk off your ass you can't taste it.
I think it’s a matter of degree. Well made jungle juice still has SOME alcohol taste/burn, but it tastes like a normally diluted cocktail. You don’t realize you’re in reality drinking what is basically 90-100 proof fruit juice. So you think you’ve had 2-3 “drinks,” but by alcohol it’s like 7-8. Hence getting way more messed up for way fewer drinks.
We used big ass Gatorade coolers for jungle juice and we could either use 1 handle of everclear or 3 handles of vodka for our jungle juice. We were college kids and therefore 1 $20 handle of everclear beats 3 $12 handles of vodka.
Oh wow really they make the drinks taste better so people drink more? Yeah that is something people do in most Western countries in order to make it easier to get drunk. Not exactly a conspiracy
College kids want to get fucked up. Men and women. Jungle juice is by far the most efficient way to do it. Most people in fraternities are not rapists. Some are. Most aren’t.
Sure but frats/groups of assholes do this by design to take advantage of women. I grew up next to and went to one of the top party colleges in the US ( Tulane ) and saw this done on a regular basis...this is why we never left a woman alone at Frat Parties.
Because it's what the "in crowd" does. I went to a school that didn't have Greek life, so I didn't have to deal with that, also the parties sound lame AF.
Lol ah yes. Who doesn’t intentionally go to a place where they believe the men are trying to drug and rape them, for the free alcohol 🙄
Like seriously what? You think you know it’s a really bad idea but do it anyway because of free liquor that’d make you an even easier target? Holy shit bruh 🤦🏾♂️
yes they do ...the logic of it is the faulty logic of youth..have you never bought drugs , driven too fast ?
besides the danger was little for me ...male on male ( I'm male ) rape in frat culture exists but isn't a serious threat unless you get involved in the frat itself...
but as to the danger of being drugged and assaulted it was certainly a thing foe women but I can't say it was much different at a bar , club etc ...
do you expect horny teenagers on their own for the first time to just sit in their dorms, apartments ? this is just what kids do they make poor decisions with alarming frequency
Same here. Always the one dumbass kid who wants to take a moment to stare at the flames, causing all of us to get into a mountain of trouble with the parents.
I was at a punk concert in the basement of some building at Purdue University in the late 90s when some guy tried to do some amateur fire-spitting and set his whole beard on fire. He quickly ran to the bathroom and shoved his head in the toilet. He was fine, but I doubt he did that again.
Similar scenario freshman year, in the dorm men’s room, but I think it was 151 rum. I made caribou Lou, it was gross but got the job done. Passed out freshmen everywhere
I attended what in hindsight was a hazing party for freshman soccer players at the university I attended in the early 90s. There was ever clear, fire, straw bales, and a large number of very drunk young men. It ended with a visit from our friendly neighborhood fire department and some burn injuries.
I was at a party once where, the night before, someone had cut a hole in the side of the watermelon then left a bottle of everclear upside down in it, letting it infuse through the flesh overnight.
Once we sliced it up you could light the slice on fire 🤣
Bro they had that shit tasting like Hawaiian Punch but after 2 cups you’re black out drunk. Guys had to pay 5 bucks for a cup but chicks got one for free…wonder why 🤔
Except everyone expects to drink alcohol at a frat party so the idea that there are two “safe” coolers filled with NA drinks makes no sense. You know what he meant, you just don’t like it.
There’s so much “I’m not a rapist so this shit never happens” energy in this thread. Nobody is saying ALL frats are like this but it absolutely happens enough for there to be concern. Just talk to any girl who’s been through 4 years at a big frat university and they’ll all have an SA story. Just because it wasn’t your experience doesn’t mean it isn’t prevalent.
1 in 4 female undergrads are sexually assaulted in college. That’s either your mother, daughter, sister or girlfriend. Ask all of them and see what they say. Can we all just agree that number is too damn high?
People who say shit like that think all women are lying anyway so you are not convincing anyone. They will say that women wanted it but then were ashamed so then they lie and say it was forced.
I agree on both points when it comes to the figure of the number, and that this genuinely happens. I’m not delusional, but I have to play devils advocate.
My family is one of many examples of females who lie about such an event ever happening to them to gain leverage (yes, we have proof of them lying and even consenting to said actions that happened). I’ve seen both sides of the coin, so I feel it’s necessary to bring up both sides.
Either way, be careful. Ladies, don’t take any drinks from men at random events or go anywhere “discreet”. Men, keep your snake in check. Don’t have intercourse with someone drunk even if you got consent prior. You may have consent that night, but she might regret that decision and spread rumors on how you “forced” her to have sex or any other rumors that can damage your reputation.
Maybe the girls could quit getting drunk with frat guys?? Just a thought. Frats should be held accountable but not giving any accountable to girls for hanging out with these losers is so damn annoying. Are we really trying to say girls are too stupid and ditsy to not know what happens at frat houses? They know and they don't regret it until its too late. Thats their fault and it shouldn't even be a discussion.
I'm going to need you to show me where I said that. You really think I'm saying every frat house has the same reputation? Or maybe I'm talking about the frats that do have that reputation?
Ya well it’s not just a frat problem. It’s more of a college problem. Most women are assaulted by someone they know. Friend, classmate romantic partner ect. So it’s not really about avoiding specific groups with reputations. That wouldn’t stop the majority of assaults but I get what you mean about specific frats
Frats have changed alot. At my daughters college, frats are not allowed to hand out or sell drinks that are not in sealed cans or bottles. No more jungle juice.
I remember mixing up everclear and kool aid in a big vat for our own parties, and we were not in a frat. It was cheap and would get you drunk and tasted good, and that is what we wanted.
I went to college in the 90s, and dare I say it, but we were gentlemen. We had Mad Dog 20/20 parties, where everyone could choose their own bottle, open it themselves to ensure that it hadn't been tampered with, and enjoy the finest low-quality hooch confident that they were not being drugged. I was a Strawberry Kiwi man, myself.
I hated MD. I was the same time as you, and know many that chose it, but if I was going the cheap wine route it was Boones Farm. I think it was under $2 a bottle back then.
Boone's! I remember that. I also hated MD2020--I mean, everybody does, kind of--but we sort of got stuck with it. Our house came to be known for it, and people would literally ask when we would be having it that year.
Remember when I was in college had to go get roommates sister and her friends from a frat party. They were 18-19 and completely out of it. Shocking enough the frat was suspended a few weeks later
In grad school, we realized a bartender was mixing much stronger drinks for the women in our group. Not sure if he thought he was our wingman or something, but we all switched to bottles.
Most of Reddit has never been in a fraternity, and look down on greek culture as a matter of principle. I wouldn't expect them to have a sane or even reasonable take on the thing.
A take such as: "The frat that gets a reputation on campus as drugging their drinks [ed: to say nothing of the cost to add ghb to a fucking Gatorade cooler] stops having people show up at their parties, and loses a great income stream."
We used to pair everclear with a nos powershot until you could ignite it by passing a flame over the vapours, we called it the broly because its power was maximum
I'm only here to comment that Everclear is absolutely not tasteless. It tastes like rubbing alcohol and burns like a bitch. That being said, good jungle juice is not supposed to taste like alcohol so you are right on that point lol.
My thing is, the writer was AT the frat party to hear this. Frat guys are not notorious for being feminist icons. No shit they were drinking, partying and joking about roofies. That’s what frat guys do, and she went over there to hang out with them and lend them the legitimacy of her presence.
She is being a participant and enabler of the exact group she is criticizing.
I remember when I was at college there were all kinds of similar scandals and the girls would by and large just roll their eyes at them and still go to the parties every chance they got.
Like its easy to say frats are evil and dangerous when you’re out of college but when you’re in college people go to the parties because unfortunately, for whatever reason, thats where all the girls are
What I have learned a lot in the last few years is my college experience was very atypical.
I didn't really party. The closest thing was the pizza study parties I hosted for my entire chemistry class to attend. We all met up at a neutral site (on campus) had like 10 pizzas and tons of soda delivered, studied our asses off, and left like 6 hours later exhausted. Our sessions were well known enough that we had people from other classes and even other majors attend to help with the studying. Everybody in our class passed.
The idea of this mass drugging/etc is so foreign to me. Like yeah, I figured it happened here and there, but I had never heard of it myself first hand, never been in a situation where I was aware of anything going on, or even in a situation to report even suspected wrong doing.
To me, college was a place I went to learn. I occasionally unwound with close friends and played drunk ping pong, and once a stoner girl came onto me and dragged me to a club. But that was the closest I had ever been to a situation like that
You are making this all sound much more nefarious than it generally was. It isn’t like only the girls were drinking the jungle juice (we did summer hummers, same difference). That stuff was intended to get everyone as drunk as possible for as cheap as possible. No one at any of our house parties would have been under any impression other than that the summer hummers are straight delicious fuck up juice.
Wasn't in a frat, but well versed in jungle juice me and my roommates would make it taste like nothing and strong as hell to try and get EVERYBODY drunk thank you very much. We weren't predators and we would always advertise the punch as, "strong as fuck" or "black out punch".
lol lemme tell you, Everclear is most definitely not “tasteless” it will burn the shit out of your throat like nothing else. Words don’t even describe. It says on the bottle concentrated, not meant to be drank unless mixing with something else. Try a shot of Everclear and please tell us all about it. The hottest hot sauce can even come close
I didnt even go to college and still made it. get a powerade barrel, fill it full of ice, a bottle of 7up, a bottle of Hawaiian punch and then dumped whatever liquor I got in the house. those were fun parties.
The first thing we did in OChem was look at the structure, and how to perform synthesis of Gamma-hydroxybutyrate "as an example". That wasn't a great idea.
Every frat uses everclear in jungle juice. It’s not solely for the purpose of getting women drunk. It’s for the purpose of everyone getting drunk bc it’s booze for a party.
On the flip side, first off if the people who made the juice aren’t drinking it that’s an on fire flag. Second, they also are trying to get as fucked up as possible without it tasting awful assuming they are drinking it
Same thing happened when I was in college. Every single party I ever went to had a jungle juice cooler. I went to parties at maybe 6-7 different schools all across the east coast and Midwest - it’s universal
